AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — It has taken nearly four years and two coaching changes, but the Cavaliers
finally have a four-game winning streak.

Tristan Thompson had two put-back dunks in the final 90 seconds, and Kyrie Irving’s
three-pointer at the shot-clock buzzer led the Cavs to a 93-89 victory last night over the Detroit
Pistons in a game they trailed most of the night.

It’s the first time the Cavs have won at least four in a row since March 8-24, 2010, when they
won eight in a row. That was before Mike Brown was fired, Byron Scott was hired and fired and Brown
was re-hired.

“It’s been fun,” said Irving, who was drafted by Cleveland with the No. 1 pick in 2011. “Four in
a row — this is the first time in my career. It’s a big step.”
